Hi, i'm new to linux, so this may be a really silly question.
But i've got this linux system (Red hat)
and i have a usb stick with some files on it.
i want to basically plug in my usb stick into the linux box, and save the files from the usb stick onto a directory on the linux machine.
The problem is when i plug my usb stick into the linux box, how do i know where it is. i.e. where is that drive
for example in windows, when you plug in a usb memory stick, a new drive is created in the "My Computer" folder. then by clicking on the new drive you would have access to the files on the usb.
thanks in advance

I don't know, if your Red Hat mounts the USB Stick automaticly, but you can check:
Use the console (always a good idea) and type
This will list all mounted devices. If one of them is called "sda", "sda1", "sdb", "sdb1" or similar, it's probably allready mounted and it will tell you, where it is mounted to.
If it isn't mounted, first of all you'll have to find out, which device it is. Use
to list all "special devices". Your USB Stick will be one of them. Then you'll need a place to mount it to - normaly "/media/sda1" or "/mnt/sda1" (or equivalent). Create such a folder with mkdir directory (you can of course create it anywhere you like)
.
Now you have to be root (or have root priviliges, e.g. with sudo) - use: -
mount /dev/sda1 -t auto /media/sda1
-
(replacing the device and directory with those aplicable.)
Done! You USB Stick should be mounted.
Thanks nepomok,
That was great.
the ls /etc/sd* list command didn't work for me, luckily the mount command worked and did the job.

I have a couple usb 2.0 flash drives. I use them on either windows 2000 or windows XP. When I copy (drag and drop) a file folder to them such as a file folder with like 10 or 20 pictures in it the file folder will show that it made it to the flash drive. I can open it on the flash drive and the pics are in there. BUT if I properly eject the drive and plug it back in right away or plug it back in later, the file folder is there but it is empty....

Are there USB flash drives specific for cameras and others for

Hi all,
This one's driving me up a wall!
We have a small office network, Windows SBS 2003, nothing fancy - recently upgraded from an old Compaq running Novell.

This worked wonderfully until we started using flash drives recently - replacing floppies for portable data movement.
Seems that, even tho we have 2 mapped drives as "F" and "G" Windows (XP and...
